  Love this car...with just a few ideas... - 2008 Scion TC
  By Larz Hanson - April 2 - 9:53 pm

  My tC provides more of a "sport car" feel than many other "sporty" cars competing against it for market share. Cornering is flat and "planted", giving a great sense of confidence and solid feel. The suspension is properly firm...the way a good sports car should be...but still offers a nice, smooth ride quality. Acceleration can be very strong if you stomp the gas, but then you pay for it next time at the gas station. That may be the biggest thing Id change if I could help design the next tC update...I think the transmission should include one more gear - a good overdrive to improve gas mileage. The tC is small, while its engine has plenty of torque. An overdrive might give well over 30mpg.

  Fun economical car - 2008 Scion TC
  By Jason M - March 30 - 12:46 am

  Had this car for 1 year and 7 months so far and have had only one issue. The front left brake caliper seized, but was covered under warranty. Other than that oil changes and weekly gas fill-ups and the car runs perfect. Has a lot of leg room in the back seats, but head room may be cramped for anyone over 6. Audio system sounds great stock, and the build quality is typical Toyota fashion. Great car to own, usually see 28mpg. I would have kept it longer if I didnt want something faster! lol

  Excellent Car - 2008 Scion TC
  By bradox1984 - December 9 - 12:36 pm

  This car is an absolute great value for what you are getting. For being priced as economically as it is, the vehicles standard features are great. The standard sound system in the vehicle is particularly high quality. I have had no issues on the repair/maintenance side, a feature for which I was aiming at with this car being manufactured by Toyota. I get absolutely great gas mileage in the car, and even though it is a V-4 engine it does pack a nice punch for a small car.

  Excellent Choice - 2008 Scion TC
  By Fred - October 31 - 5:06 pm

  Purchased this car in 2008 for my daughter. Now going on the third year. Absolutely no problems other than stock tires seem to be wearing a bit. Gas mileage is adequate considering the larger 4cy. For the money this was a wonderful selection. As a bonus, daughter loves the vehicle. I offered to replace it with a 2008 Civic EX-L Coupe but she would not part with the TC. In my mind, that says a lot about the TC. This is one vehicle that Toyota successfully met its target market.

  I LOVE my tC!!!! - 2008 Scion TC
  By Jennifer - October 11 - 11:53 am

  I got my car in September of 07, and its now June of 08. Since then Ive already put 15,000 miles on it, because no matter where I go, I choose to take my car. Its so fun to drive and not to mention, its a toyota so its extremely dependable. I have a manual transmission and for it being a standard it gets pretty good gas mileage (city) and very good gas mileage (highway).

  First New Car - 2008 Scion TC
  By Bill Brasky - September 9 - 7:16 am

  This is my first new car purchase. After looking for a quality sporty 2-door car. It was a easy decision after comparing the features, quality, performance, and price. Once you add the features the tC has to a car like a Civic, or Tiberon the tC is a much better value. One of the nicest things about buying this car is that the Scion dealerships do not add any unnecessary features, you get to choose was added features when you buy the car. They just give you a well appointed blank canvass to have fun expressing yourself with. My Scion dealership even drove over 300 miles to get the color car I wanted and in a short amount of time. Plus this car looks really cool and is fun to drive.

  Awesome car..competition cant come close - 2008 Scion TC
  By CaptainJJg29 - September 1 - 3:36 pm

  I am a very satisfied new owner of the 2008 Scion TC. To start, I looked at several competitors before deciding on the Scion and found for the money, the scion could not be beat. I made several modifications to the car, but still kept it at a better price point than the others. It is very fun to drive with a great sporty look while maintaining great gas mileage. Well worth it with the 2008 changes. In each case, its a great new upgrade!

  Very overall nice ride! - 2008 Scion TC
  By Trig - July 12 - 1:50 am

  I am very impressed with this years tC. I love the new tail lights and orange illumation in the dash. Rides very smooth and quiet for a sports-like car. The price isnt bad either (for everything that comes standard). Highly recommended to anyone who loves a nice ride with pretty good pick up.

  Great Car - 2008 Scion TC
  By Joyce - February 11 - 7:43 pm

  This Scion TC is something else! Great car. We arent your every day sporty people but hey this car works well, looked good and came at the right price. We simply could not say no. We tried the Fit, Versa, mazda 3 and the civic. The civic rated well too but for the money the TC was a great car. The only thing I find is that for older people it may be difficult to get in and out as the car is low set. I find it difficult but my spouse doesnt. But Id recommend this car anytime. Most people are unaware that the Scion comes with a Camry engine; as the camry has been around a long time, this can only be a good thing. Our Scion came with a lifetime warranty on the engine and tranny!
